Outlander star Sam Heughan gets ready for filming

IT'S one of the most anticipated television shows of the year.

US show Outlander, which is shot in Scotland, will debut in the States on August 9 and producers of the show, Starz, have announced 16 episodes will be aired.

The series is being shot in a converted warehouse in Cumbernauld and various locations around the country.

The big-budget fantasy romance series dubbed 'Scotland’s Game of Thrones' has cost more than £50million to make and despite only a short trailer having been released, fans are hooked.

American author Diana Gabaldon's seven book series, the first of which was written 20 years ago, have become a phenomenon selling over 25 million copies worldwide.

The show follows Claire Randall, played by Caitriona Balfe, a married former nurse living in 1945 who travels back in time to eighteenth-century Scotland. While there, she meets and falls in love with Scots actor Sam Heughan who portrays Jamie Fraser, and is torn between staying there and going back to her husband, Tobias Menzies’s character Frank.

And fans of the show have enjoyed behind the scenes shots of Outlander with Starz updating their Instagram account on a daily basis.
